are all android device connected to Google account supposed to be able to create backup of EVERYTHING, yes everything that will include your photos taken, files downloaded, whatsapp or wechat or facebook or any other user data created in other apps?

Or does it really depend on the model of my mobile phones or does it depend on the setting you've created?

I am asking this question because my phone recently got stolen, and it'was the first time in my life, but worst of all I can only get back some photos and things like simple text created or some other apps data, I don't know how to get them back. It shouldn't have contained a lot of important data but it's enough for me to feel like I've lost a hand or leg.

I'd like to do what I can do , the next time, if I've got my phone lost or stolen unfortunately, to restore everything, yes I mean EVERYTHING to the new phone?

Could Android device make full backup regularly and automatically to Google account under WiFi environment?? Do I need any particular third party apps or settings to make it possible?

You can create backups to your computer, but I don't think you can do a full restore of a system, just your files and then the applications would be installed again. If you use things like Google Photos, Google Docs, all that is stored in the cloud. Combine that with copying your files from the phone to a computer and noting what settings you put in into a secure encrypted file on your computer or online will keep your passwords safe. There are plenty of "password keeper" programs to keep info secure. Just don't lose the password to that program LOL
